Cota e limites de taxa explicados
- Unidade de medição
- Usage is metered by "prompts" (one prompt ≈ 15–20 model calls per official docs), within a 5-hour window plus a weekly window.
- Janela móvel de 5 horas
- A 5-hour window applies, recovering on a rolling basis. Lite ~80, Pro ~400, Max ~1,600 prompts per window.
- Cota semanal
- A weekly window (7-day cycle from purchase) also applies: Lite ~400, Pro ~2,000, Max ~8,000 prompts per week.
- Cota mensal
- Per official docs, the monthly allowance equals roughly 15–30× the subscription fee at API prices (after accounting for the weekly cap).
- Concorrência
- Não especificado oficialmente
- Renovação de cota
- The 5-hour window refreshes 5 hours after consumption; the weekly window resets every 7 days.
- Quando a cota acaba
- Per official docs: when the plan allowance is exhausted, you wait for the next 5-hour cycle — the system will NOT consume your other resource packs or account balance.
- GLM-5.2 / GLM-5-Turbo are high-tier models: they consume quota at 3× during peak hours (14:00–18:00 UTC+8) and 2× off-peak. (Limited-time promo: 1× off-peak, until end of September.)
- Prompt counts are estimates and vary with project complexity, codebase size, and whether auto-accept is enabled.
Modelos suportados
GLM-5 series models are included; the official list covers 7 models at verification time.
